How does Heist work in the game?
|
I think I found something huge secret quest related. But it involves Heist. What is it because I haven’t done it or heard of it?
Anyone wondering it’s the staff of the first sin eater. "THE HISTORY OF THE ORDER OF SIN EATERS IS SHROUDED IN SECRECY AND SHAME. NEVERTHELESS, HISTORY DEMANDS TRUTH, EVEN IF IT TAKES CENTURIES TO BE REVEALED." ✌️ Sounds like this item from Poe 1: staff of purity “"WORRY NOT FOR THE HEATHENS. THEY ARE DEVOID OF SOUL. MADE VESSELS OF WRATH, THEY ARE DAMNED BY HOLY DESIGN." - HIGH TEMPLAR AVARIUS” Took me 10 minutes of reading an research. I’d like to thank whoever maintains the wiki as they are pretty much the only serious help I got, so far. Anyway if anyone can explain how I go about getting this staff of the first sin eater I’d appreciate it Dernière édition par Lore#3772, le 22 mai 2025 à 17:37:50 Dernier bump le 23 mai 2025 à 16:55:43

I'm not following you on how this discussion relates to the Heist mechanic?
Heist is a PoE1 mechanic which, as far as I know, isn't in PoE2. Man does not stop playing because he grows old. He grows old because he stops playing. - Oliver Wendell Holmes

" Go to poe2.db Type in “staff of the first sin eater” It’s even listed as a quest item in the art file. Maybe heist is a hidden mechanic. So I have to figure out what in poe2 is kinda like heist from poe1. Actually shit if we judge it by its number 38 we can extrapolate 3.8? Meaning deep into act 3? Also according to this staff of the sin eater it can cause monster level to be 83? Dernière édition par Lore#3772, le 22 mai 2025 à 18:04:04

In poe1 Heist is a mechanic separate from mapping the atlas. You work for a crime syndicate in Rogues Harbor and use contracts(kinda like a waystone) to open portals to various places worth robbing.
The heist itself is usually a long path of corridors mixed with traps / security patrols. Upon reaching the end you find the contraband that the contract requests. As soon as you pick it up though the whole map goes into lockdown mode and you have to fight your way back out to the exit. If you survive you keep your ill-gotten gains- if not you get nada. Its got its own progression system, bosses, long questline thats kinda cool and even has item base types not found elsewhere. *another notable part of heist is you can find 'replica' uniques. The lore blurb written on them eludes to some sciency people trying to copy unique items properties and having it not turn out exactly as hoped. **it also attracts players with the most gawdy mtx outfits possible. Its like they are actively competing to lower everyone else's fps in rogues harbor. "Beidat honored the pact, though Mancy wouldn't take off Doryani’s prototype."

From your description the only thing that fits is the campaign itself.
Trial of sekehma and trial of chaos don’t really fit at all. It doesn’t feel like breaches fit at all. So heist could be within the campaign itself….. A clever way to keep people from seeing. I think I get it now. Thank you. Maybe the staff of the first sin eater requires a winter wolf skull. Maybe the winter wolf is the first sin eater. And I find it strange it is called the sin eater staff while the hooded one is literally sin. Breadcrumbs galore and I’m still the first one here if it exists. There are so many bread crumbs it’s hard to tell what’s what. From my vantage point it still seems like each act has a secret quest. But who knows. The staff of the first sin eater certainly sounds like a campaign influencing item considering sin is the campaign. Dernière édition par Lore#3772, le 22 mai 2025 à 18:01:53

" https://poe2db.tw/Heist_Targets Notice how many of those targets relate to campaign side quest items? The golden idols are def there. | |

poe2db has items that only exist in PoE 1 still in the database.
For example: https://poe2db.tw/us/Misc_Map_Items In the case of the item you made the thread about: |

" Woah, you're right. And some of those were added to poe1 years ago... like the goddess of water. We never actually meet the leader of the syndicate we work for. They're just described as the boss and we're not allowed into his room (not certain, maybe they are revealed somewhere). Could be they have a roll to play in poe2... or already have.

" Woah. You clearly are only thinking on a very surface level. Pretty much every part of the poe2 campaign is represented by those heist targets. You do realize it is literally called the staff of the first sin eater right? And the hooded one is sin? Also you do realize the flavor text on The Staff of purity and the flavor text on the first sin eater indicate I am correct in that all players are just pawns being controlled by evil? Quite literally to be the hero the secret quest is required? Is all this going over your head? Dernière édition par Lore#3772, le 23 mai 2025 à 06:37:36

" Do you notice the response difference between yourself and dire? Maybe dire sees something that you aren’t allowing yourself to. After all your worst case scenario seems to be that I’m correct. It isn’t about my attitude. It’s about your attitude. I sincerely hope you see what I am saying. This is not an attack on you. Dernière édition par Lore#3772, le 23 mai 2025 à 13:11:12
